CODE

PLEASE, DON'T LOOK AT ME

"You're kidding right," I inquired to Erin, "you really plan to kill me?"

"What must be done, must be done, foolish human. A human who dares tread foot inside the carnivorous forest where humans are killed for sport must have resigned themselves to death and already accepted their fate," Erin said coldly.

Erin readied her Ice Beam, her aim fixed onto me. Sweat began to drip from my head and drenched my bangs, gluing them to my face. I was sure she was about to fire, that's a pun, her Ice Beam at me when suddenly a dark blob of energy sails through the air and knocks her to the ground before the beam escapes her mouth. I look behind me to see a small Eevee… Marcelous!

"Foolish human, what have you returned to this forest, let alone the dwelling of Erin, for!?" he inquired angrily.

"I have come to profess my love for this beautiful Glaceon."

"She's gay as shit, she literally licks pussy," Marcelous told me to deter me.

"Heh… I know. Anyway why did you save me?"

"Save you? Hah! I saw your sorry ass parading through the forest expecting the other Pokémon quite literally eat you alive. I was watching, hoping. Then I catch you enter the icy fortress of Erin and expect to FUCK her or something, like some sort of end-of-the-game prize. I couldn't stand any of that so I personally had to see to you never seeing the light of day ever again!"

Although Erin was knocked aback for a second, Marcelous' brief monologue provided enough time for her to return to her feet and charge her Ice Beam once more. As he enjoyed a moment to himself laughing and whatnot, the Glaceon struck him with her icy attack and froze him solid.

"Uh…," I started cautiously, "should I be thanking you for this, Erin?"

"No," she firmly stated.

She then charged at me, her fangs sharpening and coating themselves with ice bearing themselves alongside a glare with eyes full of killer intent. Ice Fang, I thought to myself. I guess this is how my tale ends. The tale of a perverted young man who just wanted to fuck a graceful and attractive Glaceon, but instead ended up dying in an icy cave with shards of ice lodged somewhere in a wound with blood constantly spilling out next to a frozen Eevee who also wishes to kill him. By the time I processed this it was already too late, the back of my neck was cold and warm at the same time. Ice was left inside, blood was rushing out quickly. Erin was staring at me with a sad expression and blood sloppily scattered on the rim of her mouth. Just then a large creature barreled in the room. Blake!

"You really are the worst kind of friend you know, Jared."

I said to my best friend, "I assume trying to save me, but it's a little too late for that."

"You're making big ol' me come down to help clean up your mess."

"Hey fucker, in case you hadn't noticed I'm fucking bleeding to death down hear and my vision is slowly fading. Your smart ass remarks really aren't helping anything."

"I could say the same thing to you, Jared, unfortunately we're too deep into this forest to make it out in time to save you so this is the end." I figured this much was true, but merely stayed silent, closing my eyes and accepting my fate. "Hey Jared, you want to know something? Every Pokémon in this town was born in this forest. This island doesn't exist on any map; Pokémon don't migrate here. The fish swim around us and the birds fly around us, we are alone in this world. A Pokémon makes its choice whether or not it wants to stay live in the forest or the town and there is a code that we all follow regardless. Do you know what that code is?" I am still silent. "'Those with eyes will become blind; those with ears will become deaf; the only thing that is that matters is blood spilt on the tongue.'" More silence from me. "As a farewell to you, I will also die here."

"Blake, you don't have to do this!" I'm panicking. "You have other friends, a life, a family; don't throw it all away with this stupid act," I start choking over words and tears begin the abandon my eyes. With a swift flurry of punches Erin was knocked backwards and with a Roar so powerful the pebbles leaped from the ground, large ice crystals and rocks from the ceiling came tumbling down near the four of us, on striking Marcelous breaking him free from his ice prison. Instead of trying to kill me however, he just fled. "The worst kind, huh."

"Blake, what kind of end is this, certain death in a cave for no reason? Why choose this fate, you can live and make new friends, settle down, have children or something…" the words are coming out harder and harder, I am nearly completely blind. "Why…?"

Blake grinned and said absolutely nothing, but he didn't need to. I knew his intentions and reasonings without a single word. And as my eyes stopped processing light I felt a sharp pain through my shoulder and left leg one last time and then I felt nothing.
